HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Digestive Enzymes AL-90 by Allegany Nutrition

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 14 active ingredients.

This formula contains 14 active ingredients — a mix of digestive enzymes (lactase, lipase, protease, cellulase, phytase, peptidase, hemicellulase, amylase, glucoamylase, invertase, pectinase, acid stable protease, and beta glucanase) plus ionic trace minerals. The enzymes are meant to help break down different types of food (sugars, fats, proteins, and fiber) in your digestive tract.

The inactive ingredients are cellulose, water, and rice extract. These are fillers and binders that hold the capsule together.

Does it work?

Strong evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Strong

Clinical evidence supports at least one of this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: digestive enzyme support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Dyspepsia, Lactose intolerance, Indigestion, Bloating, Gas, Fat malabsorption.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Lactase is rated "Effective" for Lactose intolerance (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Lipase is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Dyspepsia.

The evidence on these enzymes is mostly inconclusive. Lactase is rated effective for lactose intolerance — that one's well established.

For everything else — lipase and dyspepsia or inflammatory bowel disease, protease for any condition, phytase for iron or zinc deficiency, and the rest — we don't have enough reliable data to say whether they work. That doesn't mean they don't; it means the research isn't there yet in the sources we use.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Lactase Lipase Proteolytic Enzymes (proteases) Phytase

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 4 of the 4 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 4 of 4.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 4 of 4.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

The ingredients we could check are generally well tolerated when used as directed. The main concern is allergy: lactase, protease (including the acid stable form), and phytase can all trigger allergic reactions in sensitive people — ranging from skin reactions and allergic rhinitis (stuffy, itchy nose and eyes) to occupational asthma in those exposed to the powdered forms.

If you've had allergies to enzyme products or detergents before, mention that to your doctor or pharmacist. For pregnancy: lactase is likely safe, but lipase, protease, phytase, and acid stable protease all have little to no safety data in pregnancy — the advice is to use them only if your doctor says to.

For breastfeeding, the same three (lipase, protease, phytase, and acid stable protease) haven't been well studied, so check with your healthcare provider first. We have no pregnancy or breastfeeding data on file for cellulase, peptidase, hemicellulase, amylase, glucoamylase, invertase, pectinase, or ionic trace minerals.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Lactase Lipase Proteolytic Enzymes (proteases) Phytase

Meds to double-check

No known interactions
Known Interaction Concern · database check
No known interactions

No medication interactions are currently documented for the matched ingredients — that isn't a guarantee none exist.

Why this rating?
  • None of the 4 matched ingredients has a documented medication interaction on file.

No interactions are documented in our data for the ingredients we checked. That's not a guarantee none exist — it means we've found no documented drug interactions for lactase, lipase, protease, phytase, or acid stable protease.

We couldn't check cellulase, peptidase, hemicellulase, amylase, glucoamylase, invertase, pectinase, ionic trace minerals, or beta glucanase. Run your specific medications through the tool on this page or ask your pharmacist to be sure.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with clinical evidence supporting its stated purpose. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.

If you have trouble digesting lactose, lactase here is your enzyme — that one's proven to help. For the others, the evidence is thin or missing, so this is more of a try-and-see product.

If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a digestive disorder like inflammatory bowel disease, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting it. And if you've had allergic reactions to enzyme products, mention that up front.

Digestive Enzymes AL-90 by Allegany Nutrition: Common Questions

Does Digestive Enzymes AL-90 by Allegany Nutrition interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in Digestive Enzymes AL-90. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Digestive Enzymes AL-90 contains 14 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Does this help with lactose intolerance?
Yes — lactase, one of the enzymes in this formula, is effective for lactose intolerance. It breaks down lactose (the sugar in milk) so your body can digest it without cramping or gas.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant?
Lactase is likely safe in pregnancy. But lipase, protease, phytase, and acid stable protease don't have enough safety data — the advice is to use them only if your doctor says it's okay. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting.
What if I'm allergic to detergents or enzyme cleaners?
Tell your doctor or pharmacist first. Protease and phytase can trigger allergic reactions (skin rashes, stuffy nose, even asthma in rare cases), especially if you're sensitive to enzymes in cleaning products.
Does this work for inflammatory bowel disease or indigestion?
We don't have enough reliable evidence to say. Lipase is sometimes used for these, but the research backing it up isn't strong enough for us to rate it as effective.
Are there any fillers in this?
Yes — the inactive ingredients are cellulose, water, and rice extract. These hold the capsule together; they're not the active part of the formula.
